@CraftLass @kejames @ct_la The video “95 Worlds and Counting” released back in 2000, featured a lot of planetary science friends talking about possible extreme sports on the moons of the solar system. And as long as we’re talking dunes I’ll just leave this here.
It’s my last night as @GrandCanyonNPS & @GCConservancy Astronomer in Residence. Monsoon storms the last two nights kept me indoors but it’s been a great chance to reflect on all I’ve done here. I gave a talk yesterday on art, science & the parks: https://t.co/alfrA3V1O2
As I watch a thunderstorm pass over @GrandCanyonNPS it is obvious that even without stars, Half the Park is After Dark. As @GCConservancy Astronomer in Residence here is the poster I designed to promote dark skies. https://t.co/2oJIDneBgO
In almost 15 years working with @GrandCanyonNPS and @GCConservancy on art, blankets, books, and talks, it’s been an honor to help promote their dark skies and I’m looking forward to being their Astronomer-In-Residence this summer.
It’s #DarkSkyWeek and “half the park is after dark.” Visit your local state or national park this spring or summer during new moon! https://t.co/EytEBjtHaj
@briles_34 @astrobites 10 years ago I needed an illustration for a book I wrote on astronomy in national parks. That illustration was so popular with park rangers it launched a career that eventually let me retire as a prof to pursue science outreach through art full time. https://t.co/DW4z7INHue
Doing an interview today on my @TheNRAO poster series. My PhD used the VLA to study dark matter in colliding galaxies. Part of Carl Sagan’s Contact was filmed during my run.
Happy 104th birthday to the National Park Service. https://t.co/rvMBKCEW5z @NatlParkService
@Scicomm_Grad @AcademicChatter I was a stellar and extragalactic astronomer/professor then found I was happier and actually made more as a professional graphic artist. Who knew the PhD would pay off that way?
A8 I was just outside John Day Fossil Beds in Eastern OR. The eclipse blew my friends away and I couldn’t believe how beautiful that part of Oregon is. I wrote a book about the eclipse: “Sun Moon Earth” #parkchat
